About This Book

The collection gathers short lyric poems that move between contemplative calm and turbulent passion, using concise, musical lines and recurring images of sea, wind, seasons, and evening light. Many pieces voice longing, solitude, and consolation, often addressing a beloved or a singing presence while alternating hope and resignation. Natural phenomena—waves, storms, dawn, and autumn decay—serve as metaphors for inner states. Occasional sonnets and mythic or spiritual invocations broaden the formal range. Overall the poems emphasize sensory detail and melodic rhythm to explore memory, desire, and the search for solace amid change.

II.

Ik bin de geast fen Ienlikheit, dy’t sêft
Oan koele ich syn swietste tiid fordreamt,
Sêft glimkjend dêr’t de wjitt’ring noegjend streamt
En speegljend yn it wiet mei goud’ne trêft;

Hwaens mûle neat as swiete mearkes neamt,
As lyljes blinkend op in blauwe grêft;
Hysels himsels genôch; in himel-krêft
Hwaens weltich ryk gjin peal noch beam biseam’t.

’k Bin skou fen minske-wrâld en dûk my rêd
Mids grien strewel, sa faek in swiere trêd
De ienlikheit fen wâld en stream tobrekt—

En ’k wit in boarne yn waeijend krûd, dêr’t stil
By jountiid, as it deiljocht dwyndlje scil,
In hill’ge nimf hjar greate wizens sprekt.
